Early Birthday

Fun times

We had a lot of fun this past week with going to water parks during the week and traveling to Idaho for the weekend! Claire has a birthday coming up in two weeks and we decided to celebrate early since Chris works next weekend and we will be camping the weekend after that so such is life. My parents came down from Montana and we went to Idaho for Chris's drill, camping prep and family time. We had a family day with the national guard before coming home that Claire enjoyed with the bouncy house before we drove home.

Claire

She has so much attitude and loves to say no when she is grumpy, but there is no reason for her to be so upset cause she gets everything. When we went shopping for the cloths that she got for her birthday from Nana and Grandpa Cox she got a stuffed doll too just for being so cute and not letting go of it during check out. She has some very cute outfits to grow into now and a Lion King book from her cousins to learn how to not destroy. She also got more side walk chalk for her collection, a piano that lays out on the floor, and a very soft stuffed bunny that she loves to cuddle with. We were given money to take her to Thanksgiving Point for a good experience by the Bell grandparents and we plan to do that after we get home from our camping trip.

Shay

She has enjoyed the attention she got from friends and family this weekend as we visited because she was held and played with a lot. She even had time playing with Claire's new piano by doing tummy time on it and listening to the sounds while wiggling around. She took a nap in the grass when Claire was playing in the water with our friends but when she woke up we got her feet wet and she hung out with us in the water. I like the last few times we have gone to the park because she falls asleep on the walk there and sleeps so I can watch when her sister plays then is pretty good when she wakes up.
